A New Field for Mind Readers.


Washington Irving Bishop, who has
been creating q sensation Tor several
weeks as mind reader, has an oppor-
tunity to exercise his mind-reeding
power in a case that possesses more in
terest for him than for any other persons
A day or two ago he received a dispatch
from Detroit which purported to come
from his wife, in which he was requested
to meet her at Albany or Buffalo. n. Y.
He was astonished by the dispatch, be-
cause he thought his wife was ID Boston.
He answered. however, telling his wife to
come to New York at once. He received
no reply.
Mrs. Bishop is thought by many to be
the most beautiful woman in Boston
not long ago che was the subject of
sensational divorce suit. Her husband
was millionaire, but she wac ill-treated
by him, and, consequently, insisted or
being divorced from him. The court was
kind, and she was not only granted d
divorce, but was given permission to
marry again. Being the favorite daugh-
ter of q very rich man she sought brains
instead of millions in her second search
for husband. She thought she foand
what she wanted in the mind reader, and
she married him after a short courtship.
What Bishop wants to know now is
what was the occasion OF his wife'e going
to Detroit, and whether or not she went
there alone. There are a good many other
questions he would like au answer to,
but ss it 10 PROBABLE he will have to find
out the answers for himself he might I'M
dertake to read Mrs. Bishops mind as
soon as he discovers her. As he claims
that he is not a muscle reader, but a mind
reader, he has the best opportunity in
the world to test his power. II he Is sue
cessiul be ought to make the fact public.
A new field Of usefulness might open up
TO him. There are many other husbands
who would like the minds OF their wives
read, and there are wives who would give
a good deal to catch a glimpse OF the
minds of their husbands. Fortune awaits
Mr.. Bishop If he can win success in the
direction herein pointed out.

In the darkness OF the midnight,
When IN Wilds unknown wander,
When the storm seals up the starlight
And uncanny themes | ponder;
When the tempest Tears the tree-tops,
And the lightning's liyid lashes
Cleave the cling ug crags like Cyclops,
Flercely tlin9ing fiery flashes;
still there tails upon nv heart.
AS the dew falls on the flower,
Pearefu calm, and tears depart,
When l THINK of that right hour
When we meet again.
Md the CLASH and carnage cruel
OF the fierce and bloony battle,
Where the furies furnish fuel,
And, like reeking, slaughtered cattle,
Fail the craven and the hero,
And the grimy gore would even
Pail the pas ION of Nero;
When last appeal TO heaven
From my slckened soul has He'd
Then a throbDng and thrilling
Calls NV spirit from he dead,
One refrain my being filing.
When we meet agan.
Oft az on the oceans pillows,
Where the weary white winged gull Is.
Borne on undu atiNG flows.
OF the sea my ship's strong hull is,
Then the music Of the waters
ftly sabs my sOul 20 slumber.
Ana the sea- far mermaid daughters,
And tn" natads without uum Der,
Irvine their arms and Join their hands
weaving wary wre this about me-
Waft my soul to other lands
Where nv loved ones dwell without me
Till we meet again.

Further details OF the appalling acci-
dent on the Dedham branch of the Boston
and Providence railroad are gwen in our
dispatches this morning. The first ac-
counts placed the number killed at
thirty-twO and the number injured al sew
enty. Later information increases the
number OF injured to ia. several other
disastrous accidents have occurred on
railroads within the last few months, but
none eQualed this one IN the number of
killed and injured. Fortunately the
broken and splintered cars were pre-
vented from burning and those present on
the scene OF the accident were spared the
horrible spectacle of human beings
fastened in the wreck being burned
to death. There were horrors enough,
however, without those which are
caused by fire in such accidents. But if
it had not been for the timely arrival of
chemical fire engine it IS probable that
many would have met the same tate as
those who were W. dyed in burning cars
at Republic, o., not long ago, and later
at White River junction, on the Vermont
Central railroad.
AS yet it does not appear that the rail-
road authorities were to blame fer the
accident. One Of the main girdere of the
bridge shows new fracture, sbut IL Is
not yet determined satisfactorily what
broke the grder. The supposition is
that the fourth car OF the train left the
rails, and, humping upon the bridge,
caused the accident.
Nearly all OF the killed and injured
we're working people. They were on their
way to Boston, where they were employed.
Not one of them, doubtless, had q thought
that death was near. without warning
of any kind the crowded cars fell thirty
feet and were broken into splinters. A
moment Of awful silence ensued, says the
one eyewitness OF the accident, after the
cars fell, before the wall of the injured
was heard. 1t was spectacle that no
one would wish to witness, but having
been witnessed it would not likely be
forgotten.
A careful inquiry should be made to
discover the cause OF the accident. If the
railroad officials are not to blame the fact
should be made very clear. If they are to
blame they ought to be held to a strict
accountability. Accidents on railroads
cannot always be prevented, however
great the effort to guard against them is,
but tireless watchfClness can prevent
those which are due to carlessness.

Representative Willis, Chairman of the
River and Harbor Committee, says that
if the President had vetoed the river and
harbor bill il would have been passed
over the veto by a four-ffths majority.
He bases this assertion upon the opinion
OF Congressman with whom ne has talked
since Congress adjourned.
According to the New York Star the
President had made up his mind before
the bill reached him not to sign it. In
that case he would have only done what
was right il he had vetoed it for the rea-
sons for which he withheld his approval
of 1t.
The country does not hold him RESPONSE
BILE tor legislation which he cannot
prevent by the exer else of his veto power.
Ii he had vetoed the river and harbor bill,
and it had been passed over his veto, the
country would not have blamed him even
IL the bill were very unpopular one. The
course he took to defeat il was not eX-
cusable for any OF the reasons which have
yet been alleged.
The work which that bill provided for
will have to be done sooner or later, hut
owing to the defeat of the bill it will cost
perhaps millions of dollars more than 1t
otherwise would. The pocket veto, there
fore, was not in the interest of economy.
1t is doubtful If the President himself
knows exactly why he defeated the bill
in the way he did.
